Join

Join_Vader

I go through Vader kicks every now and then. The character built in my mind as a child cannot be sullied by recent interpretations, and that character is the product of multiple visions. Many people worked together to bring him to life, to give him weight and timbre. and he remains a powerful image in my mind. Like the villain of our collective unconscious given a form that was still vague esoteric enough to intimidate.

Grey Rain

Athena_Rain

I like that when a project starts in the early evening, and stretches into the early morning, it can take on a drastically different shape and tone by the time it's finished. From sketchbook to last splash of ink, I thought this was going to be a commission for someone. But the tone is all wrong, because it developed as I worked. Still, the sun coming up as I was laying grey tones did seem somewhat appropriate considering the subject matter.

also, using only sumi to do a wash is challenging, and requires a little planning, but I am looking forward to further experimentation.

Some new doodles from the book today. Should have more coming in, cause it's been some time since the scanner saw my sketchbooks. Batman/Zorro story will be up soon, down to one page now.
